From the far reaches of the west, to the dwarvish caves of the east, the awesome power of the Great Ring was known. Even in the Shire, home of the furry-footed boggits, its evil was feared. All knew of it, all except Fordo Faggins. With his fat, boggit chums, he made merry, undisturbed by the circle of gold his uncle Bimbo claimed he'd "found in the road". 

Then, one day, the familiar grey figure of Grandalf, the old conjuror, came staggering into town. Shortly, a party for all the obese inhabitants of Boggiton was announced.

Fordo, contemplating these things and their relevance to the recent appearance of tall, hooded riders with flaming red eyes, found nothing unusual in it, such was his stupidity. All he knew was that there was going to be a party. And parties meant food.
